It will take a good side to stop Ireland. Not us anyway.
Yeah they look like a well oiled machine, very few errors
And pretty simple rugby too... get some momentum up front and then some nice back play - usually a change of line or an inside ball --- but hey have a # of players hitting each ruck regardless - nice to watch

Well done Barnes. He’s no carley.

What has happened to Fekitoa, Piutau, they used to be good.
It’s the tonga forwards that are letting the side down. Not ex AB.

The game against South Africa is a must watch ,
Irelands precision against South Africa’s brutality

Ireland lose in the quarters though - thought it was a tradition?

Tonga has been awful, falling off tackles, messing around with the ball on the ground, just a training run for Ireland.
Most of those prodigal sons who have returned are ready for the knackers yard.

That try (just) keeps game alive.
 - 
							
							
							
							
are the halves allowed around the scrum like that - or that rule not being played in RWC?
 - 
							
							
							
							
@Mattasaurus so was ABs never losing a pool match.

Its things like this that really annoy me - inconsistently applied yet most probably one of the easiest to see and enforce...

Smart by Ireland taking Sexton off.

Just crap from the 10

the bounce of the rugby ball ... but a clever little kick with chasers ready to chase....
